As a follow up to John's introduction regarding this year's Product Camp, I would like to add that Dr. Tim Silk, who spoke at last year's Product Camp Vancouver, is confirmed to be speaking at this year's Product Camp again.
Dr. Silk is an award-winning professor at UBC Sauder. He will be teaching this year's Product Management Boot Camp at Sauder's Executive Education again (Mar 31-Apr 4), with Dr. Darren Dahl (ranked # 1 in the world for publications in premier marketing journals).
If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me for more info. There is an early bird offer which expires Feb. 15, 2014 and seats are limited.

Product Management is a rare skill and it is also increasingly critical for the success of a company. Everyone has learned tips and tricks on being a good product manager and this group serves for these people to share their experiences and also learn from others. We invite experienced product managers, people who are considering a transition to product management and people who are just interested in knowing what is the big deal about product management.

ProductTank provides an opportunity for Product Managers in Vancouver to exchange ideas and experiences about Product Design, Development and Management, Business Modelling, Metrics, User Experience and all the other things that get us excited.

Events include talks from guest speakers on topics around product management, networking opportunities, and a good old-fashioned chin-wag over a beer or two.

We're open to companies big and small. We also welcome early-stage technology businesses looking to learn how to get their ideas off the ground.
